| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the awesome marriage podcast. I'm your co-host, Christina Dodson. This is an Ask |
| 0:06.0 | Dr. Kim segment where people submit their questions for Dr. Kim, Kim, and he answers them. |
| 0:11.2 | Thanks for listening. So today on Ask Dr. Kim, the question is, how am I supposed to know if I found |
| 0:18.7 | the right person to marry? What a great question. And I think |
| 0:21.7 | one that a lot of us really struggle with when we're talking about, you know, boyfriends or girlfriends |
| 0:26.3 | and engagement. It's just a huge decision. And so it's, it's, it's, it makes sense that you would |
| 0:31.8 | struggle and wrestle with this. And so Dr. Kim, is there an undeniable way to know if you have found the right person to marry or not? |

| 1:23.3 | much when dylan and I were talking about marriage and just after we had been dating for a few |
| 1:26.7 | years in college I really struggled and like spent hours upon hours, like so stressed out, |
| 1:32.4 | deliberating, making pros and con list, like, and praying and just trying to figure out was I |
| 1:37.3 | supposed to marry Dylan because I really believed that I could like ruin God's plan for my life. |
| 1:41.7 | And I was so stressed about like, well, should I marry Dylan? |
